State Troopers Conducting Sobriety Checkpoint Wednesday Night

Troopers from the Indiana StatePolice Jasper Post will be conducting a sobriety check point at an undisclosed location in Dubois County on Wednesday, November 23, 2016.

Those drivers passing through the check point area should have their licenses and registrations ready to present to troopers, and will only be detained briefly while troopers determine whether further investigation is necessary.

The purpose of the sobriety check point is to remove those motorists from the highways who are alcohol and/or drug impaired and poses a danger to all who use the roadways. Impaired drivers are responsible for billions of dollars in property damage, personal injury, and death annually.

Reminders so motorists do not find themselves “Over the Limit and Under Arrest”:

If you are hosting a party, always offer non-alcoholic beverages. Make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver.

Never provide alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age of 21.

Motorists encountering another vehicle being operated erratically are encouraged to dial 911 or call the Jasper Indiana StatePolice Post at (812) 482-1441 or (800) 742-7475. Be prepared to give a description of the vehicle, location, and direction of travel.
